The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper il
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY SEVEN YEARS Gifts existence. Ir
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chron.
cling of the history of what's going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in tho
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for Oh
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion OF our own domain as we'll as
from every part of the habitable globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE TO publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa.
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE great desideratum with mer.
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
n and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich.
nond and every section of the State, is pub.
ished regularly, and all events OF interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
nonwealth are to he found in the columns
IF the GAZETTE.
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily ia
'reasing, especially among people who con.
'ult its advertising columns before purchas
ng. That this is self-evident may be infer
ed from the fact t1at largo country edi.
as large as the daily--is sent
ii over this section OF country three times
week, and is read by thousands, most OF
7hom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of ad
ertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
aren't.

Bridgeton persons at Atlantic City
yesterday were surprised to see a row
of scales along the board walk without
any attendant. One of the young men
stepped upon the scales to weigh him
self but was surprised to find that the
scales would not act. An Atlantic
City man said Drop a nickel in the
small box and it will do its work. :"
The young man did so and in a mo-
ment the scales adjusted themselves
and weighed perfectly. The scales
were placed there by the Union News
Company, and are recent invention.
They require no attendant and a man
only goes about once day 10 collect
the money. Much money is spent on
these scales to see the novel workings.

BARNS BURNED.
Two Valuable Horses and a.
Colt Burned.

Friday morning Mr.. Matt Mayhew,
the North Pearl street groceryman, re-
ceived dispath from his uncle, Harry
Mayhem, of Buckshutem, stating that
last night his large barn caught fire
the origin is not stated,-and was
burned to the ground, with horse
belonging to himself, and Mr. Daniel
Mayhew's faithful old black mare and
his promising five months old colt.
The barn was large one, and was
well stocked with hay and wheat
About four months ago Mr.. Mayhew
took his black mare and colt to his
brothers farm for pasture, and built
for them commodious box stall in
the barn in which they were burned
to death.
The mare was sixteen years old, and
has been owned by Mr.. Mayhew since
she was five years old, and the family
were much attached to it, Mr. Mayhem
saying this morning that $500 would
not buy the animal, though perhaps
she was worth not more than $780,
She was again in foal at the time of
her death. The colt was but five
months old, but gave promise of MAX
ing one of the finest road horses in the
country, its sire having a record of
travelling full mile in 22S. The
animal was worth all of $3.50, and could
not have been purchased for that.sum.
Mr.. Mayhem feels very badly over the
loss of his animals, and at present is
confined to his home by sickness, and
cannot go to the place where his horses
were burned. He has not as yet heard
the full particulars of the confagra-
ton.

HALL J. G. SHINN Posi-, No. 6, G. A. r.
At the regular stated meeting, held
July 21st, the following Resolution was
passed:
Resolued, That we emphatically con-
denim the action of Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States, in
issuing the order for the return of the
rebel battle flags, captured during the
Rebellion, and that we consider 1t an
insult to every lover of liberty in the
land, and more so to every Union
soldier, both to those that are here to-
dav, and to those whose blood was shed
for the preservation of this grand
Union; and we also condemn his action
in trying to shift the responsibility on
to his subordinates after the storm of
popular indignation had burst upon
him; and we as a. body express our
opinion that those flags should be
carefully preserved in the archives OF
the Nation, as a monument to all
traitors in future.

BOY DROWNED.
Leslie Campbell Falls From
the Steamboat Wharf and
is Drowned.

Bright little seven-year old Leslie
Campbell, son of Capt. Lewis Campbell,
of Mulberry street, met with a sad fate
Sunday about quarter of six o'clock
while playing about on the steamboat
wharf. He was alone and while play
ing on the wharf fell, in some manner
in the water and was drowned. No
one saw him fall, but shortly afterward
Frank Kerlin while looking about the
wharf looked over into the water and
saw the pale face of the boy lying on
the mud in the slip at the wharf, his
body under the water. Much fright
ened Kerlin called to his companion
Edward Lutz, who quickly jumped into
the water and pulled the boy out upon
boat near by. DR.. L. G. Davis, was
in a house on Mulberry street, and he
was hurriedly summoned. For a short
time the physician with others worked
with the boy on the boat trying to
resuscitate him but without avail. He
was then taken to the house of
Matthew Fitzpatrick, afew doors below
the boys home, where he was stripped
and wrapped in hot flannel blankets
and rolled over in the hope of return
ing life to the body. Injections were
made, but after an hours hard work
all hope fled and the lifeless body was
laid upon the floor awaiting the action
of the Coroner.
The little fellow had a mania for
playing about the water and had been
sent home in the afternoon. About
ten minutes before he was discovered
in the water Mrs. Isaac Cohen says
she saw him going down to the wharf
This is believed to have been the last
seen of the lad.
His father is Captain of the schooner
III. A. Jordan" p" and at present is at
Baltimore, Md., loading with coal.
The mother of the boy is lying very
ill at her home, and the sad news when
broken to her nearly postrated her.
The Coroner viewed the body after
ward and pronounced verdict of
accidental drowning"

ANOTHER ARREST.
j. F. Shores Convicted Of the
Illegal Sale of Liquor.

On TUESDAY, at the Mayors office,
J. F. Shores was given a hearing for
the illegal sale of whiskey to Elmer
Scull, on Thursday, July 21st. Mr..
Shores was represented by J. L. Van
Syckle, and City Solicitor Sheppard
prosecuted the case. Mr.. Scull was
the first and only witness called by
the prosecution, and his testimony
was not half given, when Mr.. Shep-
pard rested his case, concluding that
he had sufficient evidence to convict
the person. Hr. Scull testified that he
was a member of social club which
had rooms in Mr.. Shores place of bus
mess, and had gotten whiskey to drink
there. He had purchased it in pint,
and half-pint number of times, and
had drank whiskey in the house on
several occasions. An open cigar box
was on table in the room in which
he drank. On some occasions he had
put his money in it, and at other
times he had handed it to Mr.. Shores.
Mr.. Shores, he said, had on one occa-
sion instructed him how to put money
in the box when he purchased whiskey
there. The witness said he belonged
to a club, but knew very little of its
swore that he paid for drinks when
he got them, if he had the money, if
not, it would be charged to his ac-
count.
Mr.. VanSyckle, in his cross-exami-
nation, failed to prove anything but
the fact that Shores had sold whiskey
to witness, and had taken money for
the same.
When the prosecution ended Mr..
VanSyckle took his client out in rear
room and had very earnest conversa-
tion with him. When he came back
he said that for reasons best known to
themselves the defence had concluded
to make no defence. Mr.. Sheppard
thereupon asked that the Mayor con-
vict the person on the charge of illegal
liquor selling on July 21st.
This brought Mr.. VanSyckle to his
feet and he asked the Solicitor what
he meant. II won't stand this said
he. Are you making a revenue out
of this thing for police officers?"
Mr.. Sheppard said he had perfect
right to elect specific time when the
defendant was guilty
WELL" said Van, between this and
the rewards you get you will make
good thing out of it,
Mr.. Sheppard said he did not pro-
pose to arrest Shores any more on the
charge of selling to Scull, but that he
had perfect right to, as this convic-
ton did not wipe out previous sales
to all.
This quieted Mr.. Van Syckle and the
Mayor fined Mr. Shores $25 and costs
amounting in all to $1,000.

The Laurel Hill M. P. excursion on
Saturday was a complete success,
both financially and otherwise. There
were about five hundred persons on
board of the Champion" and the
sail was made so that the boat arrived
at Pennsgrove at two o'clock in the
afternoon The place was much ad-
mired by the excursionists, though but
little time was given, as the boat
started on its return trip at four
o'clock, arriving in this city about ten.
The entire trip was made in the rain
and the water was somewhat rough,
causing considerable sea sickness. The
party experienced considerable diff
Guilty in getting to their homes on ac-
caunl of a lack of hack accommoda-
tion. Notwithstanding these little
draw backs the party report a most
excellent time all around.

Visit the Seaside.

The overworked toiler at the city
desk begins to long for period of
restful repose, from the exactions of
business and hurry of the commercial
world. All through the year, since last
vacation, has the strain been going
on, involving the expenditure of more
vitality than has been received. Its
only question of time till there will
be physical bankruptcy and ruin. The
strife for keeping the bank account
with balance in his favor has made a
deficit in the more important health
account. The wise will heed the warn
ings of overwork, pack their grip sack
and make for the shore where there is
ample opportunity for daily deposits
of solid health fitting the busy brain
worker for another campaign of
money getting. Probably the seaside
beats all localities for recuperation
where there is simply exhaustion. The
ozone of the sea tells upon the pale
face, and care worn business man like
magic and he soon feels the blood cir
culating through his veins carrying
with it rich treasures of health drawn
from the Cape's blissful climate and
admirable hotel fare.

At the Tumbling Dam.

The Tumbling Dam in its present
condition, proves an attraction for
hundreds upon hundreds of our citi-
zens, and yesterday afternoon and last
night steady stream of carriages kept
going out Laurel street. 1t is very
doubtful that if in any one day, the
little road with its hills, hollows and
bumpers that leads into the picnic
grounds from Laurel street, has ever
had so many carriages pass over it.
All day picnic parties were on
the large grounds, and the novel
sight which presented itself, more
than repaid for the disappo1nt-
ment in not going on the expected
boat ride. At night the crowd was
greatest, and it is estimated that five
hundred persons looked from the banks
of the dam at the great reach of
ground which was covered with but
very little water, and filed with great
stumps-thousandso of them-and trees
fallen across each other, which for
years have lain out of sight. under the
water.
For nearly hundred feet out from
the shore of the picnic grounds, the
water had receded and left hard
pebbly beach upon which the people
would walk and look into the
stream of water as it flowed out into
the Cohansey. Scores of people picked
up stones from the bottom of the pond
which for years had been washed
white by the water which is now gone,
for a souvenir of the occasion. Be-
low the wreck of the fallen bridge,
had been made foot bridge of some
planks of the bridge, and across this
the people had access from one side to
the other. Boys all day long with
old clothes, waded about the water
and caught fish in places where the
water was entirely gone. 1t is thought
| that but few fish will remain in the
pond, as the rushing stream must have
carried them out. The repairs to the
bridge and gates will be commenced
Immediately, and pushed to compile
ton as soon as possible. The new
bridge will be very strong.

Mr.. Leonard Parvin, of Moore's Mill,
Deerfield Township, has a son Quinton
to whom very serious accident hap
pened a few days since. The lad, who
is but fifteen years of age, was visiting
relatives in Camden, and was out
looking at the horses while they were
being watered, when suddenly one of
the horses kicked him in the back of
the head. The blow was terrible one.
1t crushed the skull, and rendered the
boy unconscious for several days. By
the skillful treatment of two of Cam
denis best physicians, however, the in
juries to the skull were nicely dressed,
and the wound began to heal. Mr.. Par
vim thinks that his son will recover, ak
though it may be several weeks before
he is fully restored. Quinton Parvin
formerly resided with his father in this
city. He is well known to many resi-
dents of the First ward.

The Shiloh Fire.
SHILOH, N. j., July 25, 1

SHILOH, N. j., July 20, 1887.
Messrs. Editors:-The effort which
certain parties here are engaged in to
make it appear that G. G.. Hilyard de-
stroyed his canning factory himself, is
of a most despicable character. Mr..
Hilyard has his faults, as we all have,
but he is a young man of energy and
push. He was anxious to succeed in
business, and furnish employment for
the people of Shiloh. His prospects
were thwarted by the incendiary torch
applied by the hand of an unknown
enemy. Twice this thing has occurred,
and twice has Mr.. Hilyard been well
nigh ruined. Notwithstanding the
first fire he rebuilt, and went to work
again with renewed vigor. But now
comes the second misfortune, and
added to it is the unmanly disposition
of some of his neighbors.
have known Mr.. Hilyard number
of years, and have always found him
square. l do not believe that he would
resort to arson for the sake of the in
surance money. 1t does not stand to
reason that any sane man would, be-
cause the crime would surely be
found out, and State Prison be the re-
suit. Neither does it stand to reason
that he would thus destroy his busi-
ness, and ruin his life for all the future.
Those engaged in the work of insinua
ton and innuendo against Mr.. Hilyard,
and regret to say that one of them
claims to be minister of the Gospel,
are doing that which is deserving of
the seYerest censure. Yours. SHILOH.
